Youre running way too rich. Does it sound different when accelerating? Does it flood easy? I think youre running too rich

Wow that is really wierd. Yeah i think maybe the LSN might be messed. Try adjusting it up some. Does the truck creep forward when at a stop??

do you have the instructions that came with the truck? return the carb to stock settings and work from there, always works for me.

Default RE: tuning

tune the motor by how much smoke you have coming out of your pipe under acceleration. That is the HSN, set the LSN by the pinch test. This is the best way to set the needles.
